Will Main Street Turn into a Ghost Town?PROFIT CONFIDENTIALDecember 8, 2008Large corporations are announcing substantial new layoffs now and this trend should continue well into 2009. Slowing demand and anticipated weaker demand next year are precipitating unemployment, even as raw material costs are falling.I have no doubt in my mind that the current downturn is going to be prolonged and severe. No industry is immune from the current recession and we're only at the end of its beginning in terms of the length of time for the cycle to run its course.All the major industries are laying off workers, including: automobile manufacturing, real estate, financial services, aviation, appliances, resource production and exploration, telecommunications, and technology.
